I drove to Duluth yesterday afternoon to meet with the cardiology team. First, I had an EKG, then labs. Finally, I went to the cardiology unit to hear the results. All good. Will didn’t go as we are having lots of seed orders and he, Mike, and Dara were home, busily packing seeds like crazy. Most big seed companies are automated and so efficiently handled. Not ours. We pack every single seed by hand, just like they were raised. It’s a little slow but it also lets us toss out any suspicious seeds that look immature or damaged. Machines can’t do that!
Someday I’d like to clean the house. But that’s not happening any time soon. Visitors will just have to realize that now is a super-intense, busy time and excuse seeds on the floor, piles of dog hair under the sofa and other messy things. I did get the go-ahead to wash dishes, and I was pretty glad of that. Our friend, Dara, had washed a sink full for us but it made me feel guilty.
On the way home, I stopped at Aldis to get some grapes. I walked by the frozen turkeys, and they were .49 a pound. Butterball turkeys! I only got one as I’ve got two more in the freezer already and don’t know how much room I have. You can be sure I’ll check. If I can fit in more, I’ll sure buy more. I’m seeing tough times ahead. I sure hope I’m wrong but .49 a pound for meat is pretty darned cheap! I’m always on the lookout for super sales to augment what we raise at home and stock that pantry up even more.

Good to hear you’re doing well.
I like the quote “a clean house is a sign of a misspent life.”
Life can be messy, so I’m good with comfortable clutter.
I also picked up the .49 a # turkey. Good deal.
Greetings Jackie.
I’m glad to hear the one week exam went very well yesterday.
It’s good Will, Mike and Dara helped get those seed orders packed.
I appreciate that you are so careful packaging those seeds to weed
out anything that isn’t good. It’s helpful Dara did a sink of dishes
for you too. Even though you did some as well it does help.
I’ve picked out the seeds I want to order this time around and hope
to get to town and get a money order in next few days and get my
order sent to you.
It’s been around 50 degrees here and wish it would stay around so
can get my seeds started soon and a start on building the greenhouse.
I know patience is necessary for everything to be a success.
It is encouraging to see a picture of your garden. Does make me want to
get to planting though lol
Thank you for bringing the turkey at Aldi to our attention. I’ll stop by there
too and see if have some in my location. .49 cents a pound is a super price!
I use turkey in dishes when needed and canned 3 turkeys after
Thanksgiving. It helps be be prepared for anything.
My youngest daughter is frugal but doesn’t really put much back so I have always
in mind to have extra for them if they should need it in days to come.
Thanks for updating us on everything.
May you and Will have a blessed peaceful remainder of the day.
Love your continued admonitions to be prepped. So important to be vigilant!
Always good to get a passing grade!! In time you’ll be full steam ahead. I happy for your recovery . 50 plus degrees here in Southern Wisconsin . I agree probably crazy times ahead-but, maybe that’s always true.
Delighted with this check up report
Glad to hear your report was great! Thank God for the blessings of dear friends.
